Session 1: Water as a Winning Strategy

April 22, 2016
10:20am - 11:20am

Museum of Vancouver

The Canadian Freshwater Alliance will facilitate a panel on water organizing in British Columbia, showing how groups organize for environmental protection through the lens of water. Water is a connector, and engages people of a variety of persuasions and backgrounds: First Nations communities, environmentalists, scientists, naturalists, anglers, and more. This diversity of backgrounds and orientations means that groups use a variety of tactics--from political campaigns to volunteer environmental monitoring, and all in between. This panel will explore how different groups mobilize through the lens of water to respond to environmental threats.
